— * —This is a photo reportage from a shore cleaning event and trash art workshop in Helsinki yesterday. The event was organized by Environment Center and Public Works Department of the City of Helsinki, The Baltic Sea Challenge and Hei Helsinki ry among others. Environmental artist Kristiina ‘Tikke’ Tuura guided in the making trash installations, according to the concept she has created. Similar events were held at the same time in Turku in Finland, Tallinn in Estonia and St. Petersburg in Russia. – From the pictures you can see that we had quite varying weather during the event!

An excellent record. I love the shot of hail falling like sticks onto the brown tent with the bare birch tree behind. and the cheeky upside down legs with the reflection of the guy in yellow – I had to flip the photo to make sure. What an excellent idea, giving people the square sheets to ‘compose pictures’ on. How brave they are to ignore the weather in an effort to do something worthwhile.
